Newsarama is reporting that prompted by comments by Carrie Fisher in a recent interview for Interview Magazinein which she spoke out to upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley to “fight for your outfit” and not become the mere sex symbol she was forced to become in the original trilogy, comic artist J. Scott Campbell has confirmed that Disney has put the kibosh on ANY future merchandise featuring the “Slave Leia” costume from Return of the Jedi.

Campbell replied:

“Daisy Ridley won’t have to fight against anything. Disney is already well on it’s way to wiping out the ‘slave’ outfit from any future products period. You will NOT see and future merchandising featuring the slave outfit ever again,” said Campbell on a Facebook post. “Trust me […] I’ve heard it from two sources. We can’t even draw Leia in a sexy pose at Marvel, let alone in that outfit! We also had a 3-D [Slave Leia] statue killed at a major manufacturer because there will no longer be any [Slave Leia] merchandise.”
